FAQ

How Much Do You Love Me? is a romantic sex comedy featuring the
irresistible Italian actress Monica Bellucci as the leading actress,
with veteran actor Gerard Depardieu and Bernard Campan as the 2 leading
guys in the drama, which involves weak heart, sex, lottery, blackmail
and tonnes of laughter.

Francois (Campan) is a civil servant living in a bachelorhood. He
strike lottery and he set his eyes on Daniela (Bellucci), a beautiful
prostitute. He makes an offer of paying her 100,000 euros per month to
stay with him until he used up his cash award of 4 million euros. She
moves in with him and everything begins from a role play of husband and
wife. As they goes on, he develop feelings for her. However, Charly
(Depardieu), a mafia boss, who was the lover of Daniela, steps in. He
opens up a proposal for Francois: to buy the freedom of Daniela from
Charly at 4 million euros.

Director Bertrand Blier has spiced up the film with tonnes of laughter,
with a touch of slapstick. While some of the scenes might seems to be
exaggerating, it is actually not. At a certain level, he has brought up
the loneliness of a middle age bachelor faced, from mentally to
physically.

Monica Bellucci is the focus of How Much Do You Love Me. Once again,
she takes up the sexually challenging role of a prostitute after Malena
and Irreversible. She swings in between Campan and Depardieu, where the
former is a civil servant paying for the service, and the latter her
lover. Swining in between the 2 men spices up the later part of the
film, where it is unmissable.

Depardieu, however, seems to be pulling the whole film down, where the
role of Charly the mafia boss seems to be too dull and boring. Though
he might be trying hard to play the role of mafia boss, more effort can
be put in. Campan, on the other hand, has room for improvement, though
it can be seen that effort has been put in.

Do not expect any raunchy sex scene in How Much. Instead, do expect the
witty and humorous sex jokes and argument in a scene where Bellucci,
Campan and Farida Rahouadj (who plays Francois's neighbor) gather
outside the house for a dispute.

This movies worths 6/10. And it is a good movie to spice up a boring
weekend night.
